I donated my hair!

About a month ago, I headed to the salon to get 9 inches off of my hair! I have always wanted to donate my hair and it felt good to finally do it. When I initially decided to go through with the process, I researched all of the different companies to donate to in-depth and discovered that some places charge wig recipients. Pantene Beautiful Lengths does not charge, so I focused on donating to them and read all of their guidelines for donating in detail.

Air dry your hair as much as possible. For me, this often meant unwanted waves, frizz and an overall look I didn't love, but it was worth it to keep my hair healthy.

Use a heat protectant whenever you blowdry, flatiron or curl.

I sent mine in with a note on the bag--Craig's Aunt Wanda is battling cancer, so I dedicated my donation to women like her.

While I'm loving how easy it is to take care of and dry my shorter hair, I really want to grow it out again for a second donation. I might enjoy it shorter and blonder for a little while and then start the process all over again.

I have donated my hair a few times, but it was before I knew that Locks of Love is not a non profit organization, and that they may also refuse to give wigs to children who have a bad prognosis. This time, I want to give to wigs for kids or Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I will, once again, go from having waist-long hair, to having a pixie.
